Three Kingdoms open plug-ins everywhere

Chapter 876 Raiding Jiangdong
Capturing the enemy's warships and using them for yourself is the key to victory.

"Mr. Wen He, it's easy to say. How can we capture those large battleships?" Tai Shici didn't have a clue.

"If we were on land, we could still fight to the death. But on the river, our combat effectiveness is not as good as an ordinary navy in the east of the river. If we really want to fight, we will definitely be at a disadvantage." Zhang Liao said.

"Ahem..."

Xu Ding coughed a few times, pressed his hands and said, "You all sit down first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

People take their seats.

Xu Ding said: "As early as last year, I discussed with Feng Xiao that we must strengthen our navy. Only with a strong navy can we control the Yangtze River and the Yellow River."

"At first, I was still thinking about how to strengthen the navy."

"The emergence of large battleships is an opportunity for us to further strengthen the strength of the navy."

Tai Shici asked: "Does Your Majesty have a way to defeat the enemy army on the river?"

Xu Ding said: "Of course I didn't. But I believe that General Gan Ning will definitely be able to do it. I have sent someone to send an order to him to join the battle in two days. At that time, Gan Ning will be responsible for defeating the enemy in front of us." .”

All the generals present were familiar with Gan Ning.

As early as in Qingzhou, Gan Ning commanded the water army and ran across the Yellow Sea, with great power.

But
Since the invasion of the Western Merchant Empire, he has lost consecutive battles.

Therefore, both Korean and Chinese military have doubts about Gan Ning's ability.

"General Gan's navy lacks weapons and equipment, can it defeat the navy of the Western Shang Empire?" Tai Shici asked.

The rest of the generals also shook their heads secretly.

Obviously don't believe it.

Xu Ding said: "You know that Feng Xiao was in Fancheng, why was he able to hold on for several months without being breached by the [-] enemy troops in Jingzhou? It is because Gan Ning's navy controlled the Neijiang River, making it impossible for the enemy to break through."

"what?"

Everyone couldn't believe it.

Gan Ning really blocked the [-] enemy troops?
"Gan Ning's navy has already been equipped with a brigade of equipment and a large number of artillery. Compared with the past, his combat effectiveness is several times, even dozens of times stronger. I believe that he will be able to make great achievements."

Xu Ding instructed Jia Xu directly.

Prepare guns and ammunition for Gan Ning.

When Gan Ning arrives, add it immediately.

Then storm the enemy's large battleships.

"Yes."

Jia Xu took the order.

Gan Ning soon received the imperial edict from Xu Ding.

Let him listen to Li Yang.

He controlled the Neijiang River to prevent the enemy troops from Jingzhou from crossing the river.Just the day before yesterday, I knew that the enemy army in Jingzhou had already gone to Nanchang, and started a fierce battle with Guo Jia's troops in Nanchang.

In other words.

He no longer has to control Neijiang.

If the enemy retreats, it is impossible to attack Fancheng again.

That evening.

Gan Ning led the water army of the headquarters, about [-] warships, and sailed towards Li Yang.

Traveling with the wind, again from top to bottom.

Sailing speed is extremely fast.

He traveled day and night and traveled for a day and a half.

At noon the next day, we arrived at Beihe River in Licheng.

Gan Ning ordered the army to build a water village on the spot.

He took a boat and went to Licheng to meet Xu Ding.

"Xingba, it's been a tough journey." Xu Ding welcomed Gan Ning into the living room.

In the living room stood Jia Xu and Tai Shici.

After everyone said hello.

Xu Ding said: "I called you here this time because I have an important task to entrust to you to do."

"Please order, Your Majesty."

Xu Ding signaled everyone to take their seats, and said with a light smile, "We successively recovered Huainan, Shouchun, and Hefei, and then repelled the tens of thousands of enemy troops who rescued Yangzhou. We decided to cross the Yangtze River and completely wipe out the troops sent by the Western Shang Empire to Jiangdong. But , The enemy has a navy lurking in the middle of the Yangtze River, and as long as we pass by, we will be attacked."

"I asked you to come here to destroy this group of sailors. Are you willing to go?"

"The end will be willing to go."

Gan Ning had already guessed that coming to Licheng must have a heavy responsibility.

did not expect.
In the middle of the Yangtze River, there is actually a navy of the Western Shang Empire.

This is his chance to do something good.

As long as this enemy army is wiped out and their warships captured, Gan Ning will be able to avenge his shame and hold his head high.

He cupped his hands and said: "The last general will take his leave first, and return to the camp to arrange the expedition. There will be a success report tomorrow afternoon."

"Go."

Xu Ding admired Gan Ning's momentum.

After Gan Ning left.

Jia Xu and Tai Shici seemed to be whispering.

Xu Ding sat down and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the minister and General Tai Shici are saying that General Gan's army does not have many weapons and ammunition. Even if he is good at water warfare, it is absolutely impossible to have no weapons and ammunition."

"If we can give him some support, it might be easier for him to win."

Jia Xu cupped his hands.

"Yeah." Xu Ding thought the same way.In order for Gan Ning to win this battle, weapons and equipment must be supported.

"General Tai Shici."

"The end is here."

Xu Ding said: "Go find Gan Ning. Ask him what else he needs. No matter what he wants, I will give it to you. Tell Gan Ning, I only want the result."

"promise."

Tai Shici had a bitter melon look on his face.

When guarding the mountain pass before, his troops suffered heavy casualties.

Now we have to give Gan Ning weapons, equipment, and even soldiers.Then what strength does the third column of his second army have.

but
Now that Xu Ding has spoken.

Tai Shici had no choice but to respect him.

He went to find Gan Ning.

Gan Ning lion opened his mouth and asked him for an artillery regiment, [-] shells, and an elite rifle regiment.

How could Tai Shici give it happily?

He told Gan Ning.

This operation was mainly to capture the enemy's warships. Therefore, it was useless to give him an artillery regiment and [-] shells.As for the rifle regiment, it can be considered.

The two discussed for a long time.

In the end, Tai Shici made a concession.

Promised to give [-] grenades, [-] bullets, and an elite rifle regiment.

The next day.

It was still dark.

Gan Ning's headquarters is ready to go.

His navy consisted of more than [-] warships and more than [-] soldiers.

Among them, three thousand were troops given to him by Guo Jia.

Outside of Fancheng, together with him, he repelled the army of the Western Shang Empire.

Plus the regiment sent by Tai Shici.

He has 8000 people.

All the soldiers boarded the boat and set sail.

"General Gan, the speed of the enemy warships is several times that of ours, you must be careful." said a general accompanying Gan Ning.

He had participated in the battle a few days ago and had seen the strength of that navy.

Gan Ning suddenly smiled and said, "Don't worry, little general. I already know the strength of the enemy's navy. They are indeed fast, but the ships are too big. Assuming the artillery is in a fixed position, it is difficult to hit our small ships. "

"The general is saying that you want to use the fast boat to destroy the enemy's battleship?" The two brigade commanders and several regiment commanders around them all reacted immediately.

"Haha, that's right."

Gan Ning said with a smile: "It seems that everyone is very alert. Once I said it, they all understood."

"Although the enemy's large battleships sail fast, they can only go in a straight line, and it is difficult to turn around. Their artillery, assuming they are on board, is also in a fixed position. If we attack with large ships, they can easily concentrate. But with Small boats, nimble and fast, they can't concentrate."

"Just right. Our mission this time is not to destroy the enemy ship, but to capture it. This requires our soldiers to move forward bravely, climb onto the enemy ship, and fight for it."

Gan Ning explained to everyone.

In fact, to put it bluntly.

This is a close combat, a battle for warships.

woo woo woo.
On the river, the two armies approached, and the melodious horn sounded.

Gan Ning waved his hands and shouted, "Stop!"

All warships stopped.

His location was about 500 meters away from the enemy's battleship.

This position, outside the range of dealing with it, will not be bombarded.

And Gan Ning's artillery could not attack the opposite side.

Gan Ning came out of the cabin, holding a simple loudspeaker in his hand, and threw it to the soldiers beside him: "Speak to the front."

"Let's deal with the soldiers first."

"Yes."

Holding the loudspeaker, the soldier began to yell loudly: "Listen to the thieves on the other side, we are the navy of the Huaxia Kingdom. You have invaded our territory, and you are ordered to evacuate quickly. Otherwise, we will forcibly expel it."

He yelled several times in a row.

The five people on the opposite side responded.

Gan Ning ordered several brigade and regimental commanders under his command: "Go and prepare a hundred small boats immediately, with twenty soldiers in each boat, a total of two thousand soldiers, and attack the enemy's first battleship."

"Yes."

The crowd responded.

Time passed slowly.

Arrived half an hour later.

A hundred small boats are ready.

Gan Ning waved the command flag: "Kill!"

dong dong dong.
The drums roared.

The small boat bypassed the ship array, divided into two routes, north and south, and rushed towards the enemy ship 1000 meters away.

After entering range.

The enemy began to attack violently: "Boom boom boom."

pop
All artillery and heavy machine guns fired and smashed at the overwhelming boats.

Gan Ning watched from behind.

There are many ships that were bombed and overturned as soon as they rushed out.

And for every boat capsized, twenty soldiers fell into the water.

Soldiers with good water skills can swim back, and those with poor water skills will sink directly into the river.

"Rush over."

The generals standing on the boat were extremely anxious.

In case of being hit, everyone's life is over.

Clap la la.
The river is churning and stirring.

The ship moved forward like a broken bamboo.

The enemy ship is getting closer and closer.

Gan Ning held up the binoculars and ordered: "All small boats, quickly approach their ships, board the deck, and prepare to snatch their warships."

"Yes."

The orderly waved the command flag.

All the ships rushed towards the enemy ships at the fastest speed.

Due to the fast speed and rapid dispersion.

The enemy's artillery is difficult to hit.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the ship approached the enemy's battleship.

"Up and up..."

The general on board drew his sword and shouted.

The soldiers ran out of the cabin, and in groups of two, threw the thin iron chains onto the deck of the enemy battleship.At the top of the chain, there are three hooks.

As long as any iron hook is used to create a fake gap, the soldiers underneath can climb up the net along the iron chain.

of course.

During this process, the soldiers on both sides were exchanging fire fiercely.

Especially the enemy's heavy machine guns have been firing.

The troops who seized the ship paid a heavy price.

However, no matter how high the price is, no one backs down.

Because everyone understands.On this endless river, the enemy's bullets can reach a range of 1000 meters, and even if they retreat, they cannot escape.

Just rise up and fight.

"The enemy's firepower is still so fierce." Gan Ning realized that he had made a mistake.

Using small boats to attack can indeed avoid enemy shelling when the distance is long.

However, as the distance narrowed, the enemy's machine guns swept across, causing huge casualties.

Under such an offensive, no matter how many soldiers there are, it is difficult to capture the enemy's ships.

Gan Ning looked at it with a telescope for a while.

He finally gave the order: "Commander artillery battalion, fire at the enemy ships!"

"General, His Majesty has a strict order not to damage the ship, otherwise, we will not be able to seize it." A regiment leader said.

"I don't care about that much now. Let's talk about defeating the enemy first." In Gan Ning's heart, defeating the enemy should be the first priority.Then we can talk about the seizure.

Entering the customs really caused the ship to be destroyed because of the attack, and he couldn't do anything about it.

Because they couldn't watch their own troops, they were shot by machine guns in front.

"The general has an order, fire immediately!" The orderly shouted.

Boom boom boom.
In the artillery battalion on Gan Ning's right, the artillery had already been assumed.And, aimed at the enemy's warship.

There was a burst of bombing.

Cannonballs exploded on the deck of the enemy ship.

The enemy soldiers crawling on the deck caused a heavy blow, and a large number of soldiers were blown up.

fell into the river.

The power of artillery is actually the most powerful means of thermal weapon warfare.

This round of bombing not only killed many enemy soldiers, but even the deck of the enemy ship was blown away a lot.

One hole after another appeared.

The counterattack on the ship weakened.

The attacking ship troops took advantage of this opportunity and quickly climbed up.

Gan Ning pressed his hands to the rear, and said, "Don't shoot at the moment, let's see if the soldiers in front of us can capture the ship. If not, retreat back and suppress it with artillery."

"Yes."

All the soldiers and generals in the rear stared at the front with their eyes wide open.

The soldiers climbed up along the iron chain.

A few soldiers were the first to reach the deck.

Fight with enemies hand to hand.

I thought it was an opportunity to break through the line of defense.

However, they only persisted for half a minute before being killed.

The soldiers behind did not catch up in time, resulting in a fall short.

"Ugh!"

Gan Ning watched anxiously from behind.

He can't wait to go on the field in person and take down the enemy ship.

At a time like this, victory or defeat is in the blink of an eye.

If you put in more effort and rush up, you will also rush up.

If you can't rush up and are outflanked by the troops behind the enemy, the situation will become more critical.

In order to prevent this from happening, Gan Ning ordered: "Organize another support force, ten warships, ten fighting ships, and thirty small boats, to attack the enemy's left flank. If the enemy has reinforcements coming, be sure to defend the left flank and not let them Their reinforcements affected me to let the soldiers take the ship."

"Yes."

The order goes on.

Another fifty ships set out from the formation and headed forward.

Under the enemy ship, the battle is at its most intense moment.

Seeing that he was about to break through, he was beaten back again.

The casualties of soldiers are already countless.

While the enemy's forward warships were attacked, the warships behind them also began to move.There were four large battleships that circled towards the two wings in an attempt to outflank Gan Ning's troops.

They were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they reached the left flank.

That's where the attacking force is weakest.

Gan Ning was extremely anxious and shouted: "Order the artillery battalion to turn the guns around and bomb the left flank. We must stop the enemy's rescue."
